Lime Crime Airborne Unicorn Lipstick

I have a few purple lipsticks, but Lime Crime's Airborne Unicorn is probably the most eye catching one out of my collection.

I ordered my first Lime Crime lipstick from their website and it took a little longer than 2 weeks to arrive. I was very happy when I received my package :) I can see that a lot of thoughts were put into the packaging process. The greenish blue box is adorable, and the lime green wrapping paper contrasts really well with the bright purple lipstick tube. Of course there is the infamous holographic unicorn printed on top

This is more pigmented than MAC Playtime, and it is also brighter with a little bit of neon tone

Airborne Unicorn is a fun shade but unfortunately did not look good on me, I am just someone that cannot pull off pastel or super light color...they really washes me out :o Doe Deere, who owns the company mentioned that she will come up with a dark red color soon, I always have a soft spot for dark reds >:) may be I will give that one a try

The lipstick is pigmented, but not as much as MUFE rouge artist intense or MAC amplified. It is creamy and relatively moisturizing. It is vanilla scented, a bit stronger than MAC lipsticks.

It wears for about 4 hours.. and leaves a pink colored stain on my lips, it is very light though I dont think it is a big problem

The holographic prints on the lipstick itself scratches off really easily. If you want to carry it around, I would advise putting it in a lipstick case to protect it.

Overall, it is a fun addition to my lipstick collection

MUFE Rouge Artist Intense Lipstick #21

Speechless!

This lipstick is drop dead gorgeous! Candy apple metallic red... *-*

I went into Sephora one day searching for a new red lipstick, the entire back of my hand was full of swatches hahaha! In the end I was debating if I should get MUFE #21 or not .. considering the fact that I just got the Moulin Rouge one the week before... gotta have some self control you know >.< But then!! two lady came up beside me, pointed at my #21 swatch and said "That is absolutely gorgeous!!"

Guess what happened a few minutes later ^-^ ... #21 on my lips, lining up at the cash register and feeling guilty about buying another lipstick

The packaging is so sleek! I actually like square-shaped tube better than round ones 

The formula is amazing. Intense pigment in a creamy formula that lasts for a very long time, I would say about 6-8 hours. 

It doesn't feather/bleed either, just stays where you want it to be.. like a committed boyfriend lol 

It has an interesting smell to it :o but doesnt bother me much..

The super tiny gold flecks brighten up my complexion

This shade looks gorgeous in both person and pictures :) 

Definitely a keeper 

Kat Von D Hellbent Lipstick

Kat Von D Hellbent is the very first red lipstick that I own and it is responsible for my red lipstick craze :)

I absolutely love Kat's make up line <3 she designed her own packaging which is absolutely beautiful, on top of that, she actually wears she own products! I think she actually cares about her products and she's not just doing it for money, unlike other celebs who come up with a berjillion perfumes when they don't even wear them to start with. -.-"" 

The lipstick bullet is blood red, but when you apply it onto your lips, it is actually a dark raspberry color. Every time I put this lipstick on myself or my friends, we always receive a lot of compliments. ;) 

It is very long wearing and leaves a subtle pink stain once it wears off.  

The texture is very creamy and it is very pigmented. You can put on a thin layer for a stain effect or load it up for a gorgeous red pout. 

There is no nasty lipstick smell to it..only a faint typical lipstick smell 

Even though it is long lasting, after about 4-5 hours your lips will get dry. I usually just put some lip balm, blot, and dab on some more  

Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick - Berry Queen

Berry Queen is a pinkish red color, pretty for a drugstore lippie! It is a bit brighter than Kat Von D's hellbent, which is another favorite of mine
It goes on nicely on the lips and its quite pigmented, the texture is very creamy. For 5 bucks im pretty happy with it! wears for about 4-5 hours for me
It does have a floral scent to it, but doesnt bother me much

MAC Dubonnet Lipstick - Swatch

This is another gorgeous dark red lipstick from MAC, it is an amplified creme so you get loads of color payoff! Out of all the MAC lipstick finishes, my favorite ones are cremesheen and amplified creme. This is a lot darker than Dare You and does not have the shimmer that Dare You has. Since these lipsticks are so creamy, it is always better to use a liner to prevent feathering.. I usually apply a thin layer, blot, then apply another layer.. it really helps the lipstick stay on longer

This will give you an idea of how dark Dubonnet is (from left to right):

MAC Dare You Lipstick - Quick Swatch

MAC Dare You is one of my favorite lipsticks <3 It has a cremesheen finish, feels very light on the lips. You will have to reapply after a couple hours, but thats fine with me!

It is a deep red brown, more red than brown actually.. with super uber tiny red and gold shimmer... absolutely gorgeous! If you are into dark red lipsticks like me, you should really try this one

I did a quick lip swatch here, i just wanted to show the color so ignore the crappy application lulz! This picture was taken under natural day light:

And here is MAC Dare You (Left) compared to MAC Dubonnet (Middle) and Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Plum, I will post lip swatches of those later on too. This picture was also taken under natural day light, which made them a bit lighter, but the color is still quite accurate
